In this first session of an 8-part series on the topic of companion animal cancer we will create an understanding of what cancer is, the shift in how we are defining cancer, and a few of its possible causes. There has been a paradigm shift and an effort to redefine and treat cancer as a chronic disease. Dr. Neal Mauldin will begin our program and help us understand how veterinary oncologists are currently thinking and talking about cancer as a disease process. “Cancer” is not necessarily an imminent death sentence and advances in cancer care are allowing our dogs and cats aspire to normal lifespans like any other chronic disease. He will introduce us to some of the advances in technology that are readily available that have fewer side effects and result in better outcomes for cancers that affect dogs and cats. He will then di... less

A wide array of diagnostic tests have emerged in the marketplace in recent years - all in an effort to support our ability to diagnose various cancer types in companion animals. Some have even come to market with little scientific rigor to support their utility. So, how are primary care veterinarians and pet owners to discern the best path forward? What is hype, what is helpful, and what truly offers hope? Dr. Thamm will kick off this session discussing several new cancer diagnostic tools that caretakers should know about including: custom tumor-specific prognostic panels, blood-based screening tests, chemotherapy sensitivity tests, and DNA mutation-based testing. He will explain how and when to use these tests, and will highlight which are useful and t... less
